1 Some one should tell the operators HARM don't use GPS.

2 I bet those jamming signals make a dandy homing beacon for an appropriate munition.

They must have jammed more than just the GPS signal. Airplanes can fly just fine without it.

4 I have a feeling that the Norks used some Chinese provided ECM, far beyond GPS jamming. But there is a whole laundry list of what that might be.

5 Inertial guidance is still a good backup.

6 The RC-7B is a military version of the De Havilland Canada Dash 7. It is like a twin otter but has 4 engines. Saw some with Greenland Air last summer in Nuuk, Greenland.

8 Maybe they were unsure whether or not they had faulty equipment?

9 Good thing we still have alternative aviation navigation methods in America...oh wait we don't...Obama killed everything but GPS.

10 killed everything but GPS.

Not quite - but VFR might be tricky in Norkland - no interstates to follow.

12 Airplanes can fly just fine without it.

Peacetime safety measure so they don't stray over the DMZ. Won't apply when the shooting starts.
